Modding on the Spectrum
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 5th of Sun's Dawn, and a very crisp predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is time for this one to once again tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...
Our brew of the day is from India, and pairs well with Ginger biscuits. Checking the hot sheets we have 48 new mods in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye this day over a fresh cuppa.
sliiiip released Chob0318's High Poly Preset Followers as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171736
"Basic followers made using chob0318's beautiful presets."
Thanks. More bounce to the ounce... Reading the mod page made me chuckle.
Mittens's Soul Gems
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171643
"A simple mod that makes empty soul gems twice as cheap and full ones twice as expensive, also adds a soul gem merchant in whiterun, with a lot of stock"
It's not a bad idea, a couple of small points... Khajiit merchant in Whiterun? don't tell the caravans. And also this merchant carries black soul gems... plus the stall was moved in the update, and includes landscape edits so... Needs testing in a modded setup, but thanks
WesternWolff released iWant Themes as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171718
" iWant Themes lets you quickly style all of your iWant Status Bars icons." Useful, thanks
FoxytheBlack released You Hear Voices - Voice Lines for Custom Followers as a first mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171683
"FUZ voice line resource pack for custom followers/NPCs. Free to use in your mods with attribution (Chris + Fox & Quill). Includes combat, reaction, and idle-style lines." Welcome
This is a custom voice pack using real voice actors, made for mod authors, not a mod. Thanks
apocalyptech released Book Sorting SSE (SkyPatcher) as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171656
"This is a SkyPatcher-based mod which normalizes book titles in Skyrim SE so that they are "properly" alphabetized in your inventory" LOL OCD much. Thanks
lets see... Belinoir released Avanced Transmutations Spells... Oookay
No link needed for this one. firewood to ebony, ores to flawless gems... Thanks?
Sam2D released Book and Note Reading Tweaks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171628
"Speeds up the opening animation of books and notes. Also brings these closer to the camera for a better viewing experience."
Well, as an old fart, the idea of quicker animations and larger text... Have a cookie LOL
inscenique released Ivarstead Market
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171710
"Finally, Ivarstead gets a small market, where Dovahkiin can buy food, ingredients and some other stuff.
"Well, the location is good, and it's only two stalls, but also exactly where a recent mod dropped a house for the mill owner... Ivarstead is the red headed stepchild of Skyrim towns. Even Arthmoor couldn't really turn it into another Riverwood. The food merchant should have been Bodi seeing as it's her farm. It's tough to head cannon anything around one house, a mill, an inn and a farm. Honestly the vanilla mill doesn't fit in. Thanks
And that brings us to our mod of the day...
Press E to Heal Followers SKSE by ItzIvy
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/171733
"I’m a huge fan of Jay’s Press E to Heal Followers mod, but the original mod used Papyrus script for inventory scanning, which can struggle in a large modlist like mine. I have over 2600 mods, and some of them are pretty script-heavy. I’ve remade that function again in SKSE, making the process instant, and it should eliminate the lag."
See a need fill a need, Thanks Ivy, your gettin-gud
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!
